At least there are some non-Heisig Kanji in there to learn.

Maybe you don't understand them as well as you think Tongue

They are for "escort" services (a whore will come to your house), not porn.

You know an awful lot about these things... Wink

But no, this one here is for porn DVDs.

Wow, great responses guys. It makes me appreciate this site even more. You all answered my second question, (which I didnt ask), which would have been, "What other sites are out there to learn about the language and culture."

With the variety of experiance levels here, and the interest in helping others, this could just as well be the best, or at least a very, very good place to be. I need not go anywhere else.

And please everyone, brag a little. Nothing wrong with that.

Minna-san Arigatou!

@stehr

Thanks for the info; As you say, it looks like a very good way to gauge fluency. I'm not sure if two years is enough prep time for me to actually score well, but it's something to look forward to.
